One friend I really enjoy talking with is my college classmate Moon. We met during our first year at university when I was studying English. At first we only talked about class assignments but over time we became close friends. We usually talk about many different topics from everyday life and future plans to more serious issues like career, goals, and even social problems. What I like most is that she is a really good listener and she always gives thoughtful advice. She has a claim personally so talking to her helps me feel more relaxed especially when I’m stressed or confused about something. Another reason I enjoy our conversations is because we share similar interests like reading or traveling so we never run out of things to say. Overall, she is someone I trust and feel comfortable opening up to which is why I always look forward to talking with her.
